Champ Forum GAEA Collection #18 3/10/98 originally aired 8/24/96 taped 7/20 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
RING ON THE BEAT: Bomber & Chikayo & Sato vs.
Chigusa & KAORU & Uematsu. Good match, but the important thing
is that after the match Ozaki offered Sugar a spot in
the Oz Academy, which, much to the dismay of KAORU, Sugar accepted.
WILD HEAT: Ozaki (JWP) & Sato & Amano (JWP) vs.
KAORU & Chikayo & Uematsu. Oz Academy mugged KAORU
forever, causing her to juice. Oz had so much fun beating
on KAORU that she was pulling her up at 2. Chikayo turned heel
here. She stopped trying to help KAORU and just stood
on the apron while Uematsu would try to make saves. When
KAORU made a comeback and huracan rana’d Sato, Chikayo
came in and kicked KAORU in the back to make the save.
Very good match with real good work and a strong storyline.
SUCCEED TO THE GAEA SPIRIT: Chigusa & Satomura vs.
Yamada & Sonoko Kato. Work was fine, but the match was
too short to amount to anything.
GAEA 7/20/96 Champ Forum GAEA Collection #17 3/3/98 originally aired 7/20/96 taped 6/16 Tokyo Korakuen Hall
WONDER FORTH: Shimoda (AJW) & Uematsu vs. KAORU &
Sato. Fast-paced match with good work and lots of spots.
Exciting, but no storyline or psychology. Good match.
LLPW 6 Woman Tag League: Bomber & Chikayo & Sato
vs. Yasha & Midori & Futagami (LLPW team). Exciting match
with good work and near falls back and forth. Tons of
spots and a cool finish. Very good match.
G’s BLOOD PERFORMER III: Yamada (AJW) & Satomura vs.
Chigusa & Numao. Solid work. Numao’s kicks looked
really good. Numao scores the upset on Satomura. Average
match.

G-Panic TV Debut 10/4/97 GAEA G-PANIC! #1 10/4/97 taped 9/20 Kawasaki Shi Taiikukan
Footage of the important events in GAEA from the women
training in the gym before they debuted up to the present with
highlights of the forming of the Oz Academy, the title
changes, and so on.
WCW Women’s Cruiserweight Title: Sugar Sato vs. Yoshiko
Tamura. Sato wear’s a red Ozaki costume. Finish only. Sugar
wins title.
KAORU & Sakura Hirota vs. Toshiyo Yamada & Sonoko
Kato. Good match. Yamada was easily the best, and, as usual,
Hirota sucked. ***
AAAW Heavyweight Title: Chigusa Nagayo vs. Aja Kong. Very
good work, but much too short for a title match, though most
likely that was because Chigusa had to work twice in
one night since Hokuto was injured. Before the match they have a bunch
of Aja’s cans set up around the ring apron and Aja boots
them. ***1/2
Meiko Satomura vs. Kyoko Inoue. *Reviewed in Quebrada
#50* Excellent veteran vs. promising youngster match. Great
storyline and timing. Real good work and selling. Satomura’s
best singles match. Highlight is an incredible released German
suplex by Kyoko. ****
AAAW Heavyweight Title: Zero (Chigusa) vs. Super Heel
Devil Masami. Terrible main event with no redeeming factors. They
worked at a snails pace and most of the "match" was brawling
around the arena. The joke is that the reason they kept the lights
flickering was so the customers would not be able to
visually witness this debacle. Devil wins title. 3/4*
Satomura training with Yuki Kondo.
G-Panic TV 11/1/97 GAEA G-PANIC! #2 11/1/97
-1hr 50min. Q=TFT
10/10 Tokyo Korakuen Hall: Pancrase Rules: Meiko Satomura
vs. Toshiyo Yamada. Had its moments, but had too many
holes.
10/10: Sugar Sato vs. Chikayo Nagashima. Really fast action
with high workrate and strong selling. Looked very good, but
only 1/3 was shown.
10/13 Osaka Furitsu Taiikukan 2: Meiko Satomura vs. Sonoko
Kato. An attempt at a more realistic style match. Stiff. They
worked up to the high spots pretty well. Finish was cool.
Seemed like they were mainly trying things out in front of an audience.
***
10/19 Sapporo Teison Hall AAAW Junior Tag Titles: Kato
& Satomura vs. Sugar Sato & Nagashima. Probably the solidest
tag these four have had, but it was kind of sloppy. They
seemed to be working above their capabilities instead of within
themselves. Really kicked in at the 15 minute mark, but
the early action didn’t really build to this hot portion. ***1/4
Lots of clips of Sakura Hirota getting pinned and setting
up the ring. Even in the "highlights" from her matches she doesn’t look
good.
10/19: Aja Kong & Yoshiko Tamura vs. Chigusa Nagayo
& Sakura Hirota. Disappointing. Hirota was terrible as always.
Tamura wasn’t as good as normal because she’s not used
to working with this opposition. Aja barely broke a sweat. *1/4
